In is understood that the Comptroller
of Currency will in his next report to
Congress suggest an important amend
ment TO the national bank act with n view
of preventing, under severe penalties,
the compromising by any bank of any
case of misappropriation, emhezzlement,
misapplioatioa of funds or any other
elfense which renders officers or employ
ees of national banks liable to criminal
prosecutions undor the acts now in force.
Such an amendment would be an entirely
proper one. IL would only be ia the di-
rection of a further recognition of the
public nature of such ofTenses against the
community. Crimes of this nature are
public wrongs which affect the whole com
munity, and it ought not TO be in the
power of offenders guilty of them to
secure immunity from public prosecu-
tion, whether by the favor of bank Off
cials or otherwise. Bankers particularly
interested i'll the maintenance of high
standard of commercial morality, which
acts such al those against which legisla-
tion is sought cannot but affect unfavor-
ably, and they will doubtless be glad to
see the suggestion of the comptroller
embodied in legislation.

THE appointment of President Angel,

from the London papers some rather

one peculiar superstition among steam

DiabolicaI Work of an Incendiary.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-ILformation was dis
closed to-day of a diabolical attempt of
some persons to fire a tenement house on
South Canal street early this morning, in
which six families of Bohemians aggre-
eating thirty-one persons, were sleeping,
Fire was set on two different, floors, but
vas put out by the prompt action of
lady and her husband on the
second floor, who heard strange
men walking about. The first floor was
occupied by Frank Macha, saloon keeper,
and on going below Macha was found in
an apparent insensible condition as from
the effects of chloroform while his wife
was bound hand and foot. A rigid in
vestigation has been instituted and this
evening it is stated that the officers, po.
lice and fire department are inclined to
suspect Macha of implication in the
crime. His insurance greatly exceeds
the value of the property.

Complaint has often been made of the
high price at which quinine is sold by
physicians and apothacaries but when il
Is known how much toll fatigue and hard
ship it has cost to secure this invaluable
medicine from the South American
forests, one in need of the drug should
be thankful that it can be obtained at
any cost.
The bark gatherers are called cascaril-
leros. At the commencement of the drv
season about the first or middle of Nav,
company of cascarillos in the service
of some merchant or firm, are sent into
the uninhabited wilderness, under a
leader called a ma jor domo, to labor in
the forest until the fall. Each person
buys provisions for his own use for the
season, and conveys it on muIe-back TO
his destination. 1t acquires great endur-
ance and bravery to face the hardships
before theparty; but many of the bark
gatherers are Indians and Mestizoes and
have been used TO this labor from bow
hood. The changeable climate, and
danger of fever, and running short of
food, they are also accustomed to.
The party roam about until sufficient
number of trees are found in the vicinit,
to make it practicable to settle down add
establish camp in suitable place. A
small house is built for sleeping purpo-
ses, and for covering the bark that il
may not be exposed to an occasional
shower of rain, The party are now ten
or twelve days journey from the starting
point, and they claim the forests for
many miles around, no other bark gather
ers being allowed in the neighborhood
for the season.
When the rude shelter or house com
pleted, the majordomo divides the cas-
corilleros, and sends out little parties in
different directions with sufficient food
fora long absence. From each emineu-
ee the surrounding forests are scanned
for sight of the chinchona. Experien-
ce and observation have made it possible
for the men Ito distinguish the tree at a
great distance, not only from its greater
height than the surrounding forest ;rees.
but from the light green, smooth ldaves,
with here and there yellow leaf. Speak
ing of the bark gatherers in Peru a
traveller says that standing on one side
of ravlne, the men count the cost of the
other side, or they climb to the tops of
the loftiest trees and survey the country
around for chinchona.
The men are judges of the proper age
at which tree may be deprived of it's
bark, and know the best trees for this
purpose. Having selected a tree it is
sometimes cut as near the ground as pos
sible and the bark taken off; at other
times the tree is made barkless while
standing. Cutting is usually considered
the better way, that the stump may put
forth more leaves and again grow up,
while a barkless tree is sure TO die.
